Some Burmese pumpkin curry I had last week. I love that they served it in a pumpkin. It was quite good–they used dark meat!

It’s been a while since I lasted posted. Over a month I think. Things got busy. But now I’m back to some stuff. To kick things off, here’s an amazing sushi roll I had at Ten Ichi in San Francisco. It tasted as fabulous as it looks.
